Versius or Laparoscopic Colorectal Cancer and Non-cancer Operation Outcomes

A Single Blinded Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing the Ergonomics of Laparoscopic and Versius Robotic Assisted Colorectal Surgery

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Mar 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a study comparing major bowel surgery done via conventional keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery with robotic assisted keyhole surgery, using the Versius robotic system. Our main objective is to assess the physical strain of both types of surgery on the operating surgeon, but we will also collect data on the patient outcomes and teamwork. This results from this study will be used to guide the design of a larger scale trial in future.
